Unlike some EMS services in Pennsylvania, CTEMS is NOT directly supported by a regional tax base. We raise funds to
purchase and maintain equipment through our annual ambulance memberships and fund-raising. Your participation and willingness to support your local first responders is essential and greatly appreciated by all of our members in our existing and newly expanded service areas.
Check out our current and upcoming evens that help us raise the funds we need!

Annual Ambulance Memberships (always available)
Memberships are active March 1 of the current year to March 1 of the next year.
The new membership flyers are mailed out the last week of December and then again at the end of February.
Memberships are very important to ensuring that if you require our services, you don't end up with a bill too big to handle.
We strongly encourage every household purchase a yearly membership as it could save you thousands!
Ambulance Fund Drive
Every June we hold a fund drive to collect donations that assist in paying down loans on our ambulances.
This is very crucial in helping us keep the most up to date and effective and dependable trucks in service to provide
the best emergency medical care to our communities and surrounding areas.
